Group Captain Percy Charles (Pick) Pickard DSO** DFC (Garrett 1926-1932)

One of the best-known RAF officers of WW2 and was the first RAF officer to be awarded the DSO three times in one war. He died in 1944 on a daring raid on Amiens Prison. The link now provides access to the amazing “in case of death” letter he wrote, with kind permission of his nephew. Also photos of the presentation of the painting of the raid to the College by Patrick Taylor (K43-46) on 70th anniversary of the raid on Amiens Jail and other anniversary items. This now includes information from his flying log books researched by Bill Collard and James Ruddock Broyd and picture of some crash site relics donated by Bill to the College.
